Greetings. I'm new to Samsung Members.

Let's jump right away to the subject. The main reason why I want to get myself a 2017 flagship is because of Linux on DeX (LoD). Samsung has dropped the feature since Android 10, so the only way for me to try it out is to get any DeX-supported model that doesn't go beyond Android 9.0 Pie, hence the Note8.

While it has a green screen issue that requires a hardware fix, having HDMI ALT video output support in the first place is tremendously helpful to get through the setup. After all that settled, I spare no time to get into DeX and immediately loving the experience.

HDMI ALT to the rescue!
